From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 291 The electricity meter is running backwards?!
but.

In large mines and quarries, even a 100-ton behemoth is just a roadside stall.

The largest mining dump truck in China currently has a capacity of over 300 tons.

As the smoke and dust approached from afar, everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
He silently put on his mask, took a step back as a sign of respect, and subconsciously tightened the white safety helmet on his head.

Once the mining truck was parked, the Dongfeng team members couldn't wait and rushed to check the battery level.

The results shocked everyone!

The car's infotainment screen displays that the battery level is still stuck at 80%!

"Holy crap... has it really become a perpetual motion machine?!"

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes widened in disbelief!

This is Dongfeng Group's first new energy mining truck, and the shock it brought far exceeded all the special vehicles he had participated in before!
He was mentally prepared for kinetic energy recovery.

But in the end, he couldn't hold back anymore!

It's too hard to hold it in.

It didn't even lose 1% of its battery?

--ah?!!

Gasps of astonishment filled the air.

Even the engineers from the Dongfeng team who usually went deep into the mines were dumbfounded!

Zhang Xiaofan quickly calculated in his mind that Dongfeng Heavy Industry had heavy-load road test data from large mining farms.

According to data reports submitted by engineers from Dongfeng Heavy Industry and technicians from the mining area, a typical 100-ton diesel mining truck consumes a conservative 400 liters of fuel per day. Assuming diesel costs 6 yuan per liter, the daily consumption can reach approximately 2400 yuan.

This is pure cost expenditure.

And now.

What did he see!
Fully loaded for uphill and downhill operations, with absolutely no energy consumption!

A true perpetual motion machine capable of handling hundreds of tons of fuel!!!
hiss!
I gasped again.

"President Zhu, am I right...?"

Xu Yi composed himself. "However, this only applies to heavy-load downhill scenarios. If it's a scenario with half uphill and half downhill sections, we still need to consider charging time and cost."

This pattern has already been proven in previous lives.

It was initially verified by large overseas mining farms, but now StarCraft has taken the lead in implementing it.

The system hauls materials down from the mine, recovers kinetic energy under heavy loads, and then returns to the mountain empty, resulting in exceptionally high efficiency.

If you're hauling things up from the mine, the reverse isn't very efficient.

Limited use cases.

-

No matter how limited they may be, the number of mines in China is what it is, and there are quite a few mining areas that meet this specific working condition!
Zhu Yanfeng suppressed the slight tremor in his heart, realizing that an industrial reform was approaching!

Take this incredible performance as an example.

In China, any mining operation that fits this special scenario cannot resist the temptation of cost.

Even if the price of a new energy mining card is five to eight million, it can recoup nearly half of the cost after operating for a few years.

Their collaboration with Xingchen on this new energy heavy-duty truck may well be ushering in a new chapter in the mining industry!

"President Xu, I take back what I said before..." Zhu Yanfeng admitted defeat.

Xu Yi was slightly taken aback: "Which sentence?"

"Dongfeng Group's discussions with you focusing solely on passenger vehicles are too superficial. In the field of specialized industrial vehicles, I hope we can further deepen our cooperation!" he said sincerely. With the addition of a 300kW multi-gun fast charging configuration, this new energy mining truck has a very promising future, even in non-extreme downhill scenarios!
It can definitely occupy a very considerable ecological niche!

"President Zhu, you flatter me. Xingchen is happy to provide new energy technology support for the special industry." Xu Yi's eyes narrowed into slits, and his smile grew wider.

The Daliyuan effect of Xingchen in the new energy field is still spreading.

Its advantages are not limited to passenger vehicles; it has even greater potential in the industrial sector.

The new energy pure electric heavy-duty trucks used on long downhill slopes in mines are the first step in this experiment. Further development could include range-extended heavy-duty trucks, driverless industrial dump trucks, and more.

Taking over the market for these industrial-grade special vehicles would be a readily available profit for leading domestic battery manufacturers... no, it's a responsibility they should shoulder.

The prototype vehicle testing is complete.

Three days later, Dongfeng Motor Group held an official press conference, eager to showcase its achievements to the media and also inviting guests from domestic mining groups.

The banner at the scene, with the slogan "Dongfeng Group x Xingchen Group Join Hands to Create a Better Future," was extremely eye-catching.

Hong Jingping was an invited participant from China Minmetals Corporation, one of the world's leading metal mining companies, which has a fixed quota for special vehicle procurement every year.

New energy industrial vehicles have received relatively little attention in the industry over the past two years.

The main problem is that it has too many shortcomings, such as short battery life and slow charging time. No matter how you look at it, it is difficult to put it into large-scale industrial applications with the current technology.

If it weren't for carbon emission control and green mine construction assessments, he wouldn't even bother to look at it; today's visit is just a formality.

However, as he sat in the audience, he found that Dongfeng Group's promotional language was becoming increasingly "outrageous"!

"A super industrial behemoth that doesn't need charging! A perpetual motion machine in the mine... Saving three thousand yuan a day! Zero emissions all year round! The green and energy-saving king of the mine!"

Not buddy——

That's a bit of an exaggeration!
Hong Jingping gradually became restless, but he noticed that other prominent business leaders from mining companies had similar expressions to his own.

Some people have already started whispering among themselves.

But soon, the large multimedia screen at the scene began playing videos of the actual exercise.

A powerful new energy mining heavy-duty truck appeared before everyone's eyes, and its unique appearance brought a different kind of impact to industry professionals!
Especially the huge square battery pack at the back.

Too eye-catching.

It exudes a simple, direct, yet highly efficient beauty...

Hong Jingping stared blankly at the demonstration on the multimedia screen. The pure electric mining truck started up, and it could be seen that its climbing efficiency was much faster than that of ordinary diesel mining trucks. The high power of the motor was well known in the industry.

The key is whether the battery life can hold up.

The opening video clip only showed the guests the basic battery life, which was only 60%.

Soon, the new energy mining truck was fully loaded and descended the slope. Due to the video being sped up, in just one minute, the mining truck, which was shown in a single take, had already reached the bottom of the mountain. At this point, the camera panned to the display screen inside the truck.

Battery level: 60%!
"For long downhill mining scenarios, Dongfeng New Energy mining trucks can utilize the gravitational potential energy of the ore to generate electricity and recharge the battery... We have partnered with Xingchen Group to create special vehicles for specific scenarios, truly realizing the application of new energy vehicles and creating green industrial machinery for the country!"

Zhu Yanfeng spoke loudly, thoughtfully explaining the knowledge of kinetic energy recovery to the guests and media present.

Some people present understood new energy technology, while others, like Hong Jingping, only had a superficial understanding of new energy vehicle technology, even though they were in charge of procurement and approval.

But when they heard those words, their minds involuntarily went blank for a moment.

Then, an even more unbelievable scene was displayed on the large multimedia screen!
The new energy mining truck in the video was not finished working, but continued to work, making ten trips in a row, which took seven or eight hours. Finally, the battery display inside the truck stopped at 61%!

"Holy crap... the electricity price actually increased by one percent?!"

The heads of numerous mining groups stood up, their eyes wide, and finally erupted in an uproar!

Not buddy.

The electricity meter on your new energy mining truck... can it reverse?
